    It’s strange every person I’ve spoken to says they like the Cupra logo. Absolutely no reason for anyone to lie to me I have a Seat badged Leon Cupra. I like the the new Cupra logo. It’s mainly motoring journalist or car reviewers that seem to have a problem with it. I’m not sure if it’s badge snobbery or just because they think mistakingly it will make them uncool to like it. I’m guessing it’s a bit of both.

    Great review man! I bought the 150 V2 version, love it and is a bargain for the size, kit and feel.

    Hi everyone, Cam here. Just a couple of things I wanted to point out. Firstly, at the end of the video, we accidentally tell you to go to YesAuto.com twice. That was a mistake on our end, even if we REALLY want you to check out the website. Secondly, I say the button in the centre console turns off the traction control. It deactivates the stability control. With that out of the way, what do you think of the Formentor? Yay, or nah?

    I've had this car in the VZ2 310 bhp version for over three months now, yes it is very good but there's that infotainment system that's full of bugs and does some weird stuff like not letting you enter the car, or it can make random phone calls to even slamming the brakes on for no apparent reason whatsoever as just a few examples.
    VW know about this problem as it's a similar problem across their range of cars fitted with this infotainment system but the Formentor has many electrical niggles that need sorting, what are VW doing about it? Very little.

    That comment of yours about Wolfrace being really tacky, is I feel, unjustified. They are suppliers to the OEM market, were the first British awardee of the German TUV certification, now trading for over 50 years. Not really any better, having a pop at Halfords, as they cater for the amateur and pro mechanic, open when you suddenly need that elusive part, to get you back on the road. Whatever your views, it has got you talking about it, just didn't have to be quite so negative?.
